1. Lord, Father and Master of my life,do not abandon me to their designs,do not let me fall because of them!
2. Who will apply the lash to my thoughts,and to my mind the rod of discipline,That my failings may not be sparedor the sins of my heart overlooked?
3. Otherwise my failings may increase,and my sins be multiplied;And I fall before my adversaries,and my enemy rejoice over me?
4. Lord, Father and God of my life,do not give me haughty eyes;
5. remove evil desire from my heart.
6. Let neither gluttony nor lust overcome me;do not give me up to shameless desires.
7. Listen, my children, to instruction concerning the mouth,for whoever keeps it will not be ensnared.
8. Through the lips the sinner is caught;by them the reviler and the arrogant are tripped up.
9. Do not accustom your mouth to oaths,or habitually utter the Holy Name.
